Philemon Yang has been maintained as Cameroon's Prime Minister. President Paul Biya re-shuffled the government which was announced on state radio (CRTV) late on Friday.
Biya was expected to re-shuffle his cabinet after he was declared winner of an October Presidential poll in the Central African nation. The government remains very big with more than 50 members including 37 full ministers. There are about a dozen new faces but several ministers maintain their portfolio or simply switch departments.
The most noteworthy new member is the Finance Minister, Alamine Ousmane Mey, who comes from the private sector. He was head of Afriland First Bank. His predecessor Essimi Menye is now in-charge of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Biya also named Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh as the new Secretary General at the Presidency of the Republic. He was permanent secretary at the ministry of external relations.
Biya maintained his trust in the coalition that backed him during the elections and did not give government positions to other opposition parties as was widely rumoured. As such, Bello Bouba Maigari (UNDP party), Issa Tchiroma (FSN party) and Amadou Moustapha (ANDP) are maintained in government. Bello Bouba is now Minister of State (senior minister) in charge of Tourism.
A symbolic newcomer from the allied parties is UNDP's Mohamadou Ahidjo who is appointed as a roving ambassador. Ahidjo, was a mayor of the major northern city of Garoua. He is one of the children of former President Ahmadou Ahidjo.
Apart from the position of Prime Minister, no Anglophone commands a top ministry. Anglophone ministers include Philip Ngolle Ngwese who is in-charge of Forests and Wildlife where he replaces Elvis Ngolle Ngolle and

The Prime Ministry has become an auction sale, available to the highest bidder! Those gargantuan financial contributions from persons of the NWP paid off handsomely, didn't they, folks?

It was noticed that some people like Marafa left the government and we cannot know all the reasons that led to the exit from the government. What matters is that there is a new and dynamic team ready to work for the prosperity of our country.

After the appointment of former President Ahidjo’s son as minister, the next question now asked by many is when will his body return to Cameroon? I think we should just be patient.

Since President Ahidjo’s death in Senegal and the non-return of his body to Cameroon, it is in the minds of many that President Paul Biya has been bearing a grudge against the Ahidjo family. After the appointment of former President Ahidjo’s son as minister, I wonder what will be said now.

High officials are appointed to serve the nation and its interests. It is not a permanent position, at any moment any one can enter and leave the government but the fact is he should be qualified to serve the nation based on his past experience. The appointment of Ahidjo into the government is a proof that President Paul Biya bears no grudge against the Ahidjo family as rumoured for years now.

Everyone has his own ruling strategies and President Paul Biya has concern for Cameroonians. Increasing the number of ministerial posts does not matter as far as they are all efficient.The Anglophone versus Francophone debate is a nonevent; there has always been a considerable representation of Anglophones in the government over the years.

Anyone can be appointed or dropped from the government at any moment. No one is eternal, untouchable or super powerful or special, even the staunch supporters of the regime are not spared. The number of ministers appointed does not matter, each minister has a specific task and they each have their role to play.

There is a time to be appointed, a time to serve and a time to leave the government. President Paul Biya knows the game of politics and knows exactly whys of the number ministries he created and ministers he appointed.
